It's driving me nuts having to change ownership and permissions for every file just as soon as its created. Is there a way to make these setting stick, or am I missing something.

Put the files in the Public folder of the user on the iMac, and

do this: (taken right from Mac Help)

        1.      Select your Public folder, located in your home folder.
        2.       Choose File > Get Info.
        3.       Click Ownership & Permissions.
        4.       Click Details.
        5.       Choose Read & Write from the Others pop-up menu.

In practice you can do this for any folder. Files inherit the permissions of the enclosing folder, so files saved there be readable and writeable.

Make sure this iMac *isn't* on the internet, or that you're blocking filesharing out of your router/firewall
